When Ken Wharfe was hired in 1986 to work as Prince William’s protection officer,
it’s fair to say his first day of work was more nerve-wracking than most.Driving up to the imposing gates of their Sandringham estate in Norfolk Ken tells Now To Love it was “quite a nervous prospect meeting the Princess [and her sons].”
Any jitters the royal bodyguard may have had were soon put at ease thanks to the very normal and chaotic scene that greeted him.
“William was attempting to play a piano and Harry was stood on a small coffee table, de-stemming a vase of lilies. And the first thing Diana said to me was, ‘I don’t envy you looking after my two sons! They can be a ruddy nuisance!’”
